Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: The elbow restraint on the right arm would prevent the client from bending the arm to pull the IV out of the left hand. The client's movements are minimally restricted, which is a major requirement of restraints. A jacket restraint would not prevent the client from pulling out his IV and four-point restraints would be more than is needed for this client. Leather restraints are only used for the criminal or very violent client who requires very strong restraints.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Both the nurse and the respiratory therapist violated the client's confidentiality when they held a discussion, containing private client information, in a public place, and the nurse no longer has a need to know about the client's status.
